Series: The Colin Terris Classic Collection

Master Designer Colin Terris brought about a major revolution in paperweight design during the 1960s when he 'invented' modern design paperweights. Colin has designed literally thousands of paperweights and art glass pieces since he joined Caithness Glass in 1968, many of which are now valued collectables. He created his 'Classic' limited edition range of paperweights in celebration of his 33 years with the company.

In this collection, probably Colin's last paperweight collection for Caithness due to his retirement at the end of 2001, he looks back over 30 years of paperweight design and has selected twelve of his favourites and re-interpreted them for 2002. Colin's choice was influenced by many things; aname; atechnique that was instantly successdul; a new shape or faceting style, or just a piece of which he has always been particularly fond. He hopes that you will enjoy his selections.

Each piece is limited to its edition size and to production only in 2002. 

Historic inspiration Ballerina:

Inspired by Ballerina in 1993, Colin used the same spinning form for this piece but has added some sparkling goldstone to her green costume and also included a crystalline sand 'tutu' form.
